[libreoffice-users] [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
Hello I bought the following sheets of labels that have some pitches/margins: http://bagofiles.free.fr/libreoffice.labels/microapp.labels.sheet.jpg I tried Writers' File New Labels, and used user-specific settings, but the preview doesn't look like what I expected: http://bagofiles.free.fr/libreoffice.labels/libreoffice.labels.params.jpg http://bagofiles.free.fr/libreoffice.labels/libreoffice.labels.output.jpg Before I ditch the pack and find some labels that have no pitch/margins, has someone successfully printed labels with LO that look like that?

Hi :) Is it easier just to use a table? Each label corresponding to 1 cell. Perhaps rows and columns between printable labels in order to create a margin? The labels editor looks like it has a steep learning curve but might be more effective and elegant in the longer term but you might get quicker results with just a table even if those results are just not so great. Btw i tend to do a test print onto the back of a sheet of labels before daring to print on the front surface. Something always goes a bit wrong and needs tidying.

Rather than test print on the back of the labels, which could mess up the printer (that's why most printers don't want you to print on partially populated label sheets - the hot fuser could melt the backing coating and gum up the works), I print on a paper page, align it on the back of the label sheet and look at it with the sun (don't look directly at the sun!) or a bright light behind it. I can see if the text is lined up inside the label boundaries by doing that. Girvin Herr Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Is it easier just to use a table? Each label corresponding to 1 cell.
